(The former senator’s health is improving after results from the RITM showed that he tested positive for COVID-19).

His sister, Senator Imee Marcos, earlier revealed that Bongbong arrived “unwell” from his trip in Spain prompting him to get tested for the disease.

According to Rodriguez, Marcos went to a hospital on March 14, after experiencing chest pains but he eventually went home as there was a deluge of patients in the hospital.

Marcos stayed in his room since and only came out on March 22, when he was rushed to the emergency room for having difficulties in breathing. He was then tested for COVID-19 and advised to undergo self-quarantine.

(Since March 13 until now, Marcos has been abiding by the health protocols for persons under investigation and he followed the process of the clinic like wearing safety masks and self-quarantine and distancing himself from his family members.)

Last week, Marcos himself went on social media to show “proof of life” following reports of his poor health after his trip to Spain. He supposedly had to be airlifted to Singapore for treatment for his alleged severe illness.
